Well, today was another great lesson/reminder in photography for me...
There is just no way to plan out the perfect shoot. The fact is, some ideas will work and others just aren't going to happen...especially when you're working with little ones. So, I've found that it's important to be flexible. Don't be so married to a specific idea that it upsets the "fun" of the shoot when it doesn't happen. You're going to have several photo shoots over the years...there's always next time. It's best to keep everyone happy and go with the flow a bit. Just come with 30 different ideas and you're bound to catch a few that you'll print and put up in your home. Right?
What are your top photo choices that you'd try to achieve at a shoot??
These kids had a really eventful weekend and then got to come share their smiles with me. :0) Misty and John are wonderful parents and it was great to capture these photos of their family.
I couldn't help by think of Bryce when I saw this quote...

I find that trying a game, running or playing can be helpful in getting a few more smiles out of little kids. I mean, really...who doesn't love a little Ring Around the Rosie??


Sometimes you just need your mommy...
